problems with meeting other dogs…
Is your dog barking and lunging when they see other dogs?
Do you dread taking your dog out?
There can be a variety of reasons why your dog may lunge, bark or just be generally reactive when they see or meet other dogs. It may be caused by fear, unfamiliar dogs, or just being over-excited when meeting other dogs.
Life can be pretty challenging when…
…your dog can’t walk past or meet other dogs!
As a behaviourist, working with all sorts of dogs from training issues to more more complex behavioural issues, I’m passionate about getting things right as soon as possible… before bad habits become too practiced.
No matter what is causing your dog’s reactivity, it is important to identify the root cause and address the issues so that walks can become a pleasure with your dog.
Don’t worry – I’m here to help. Offering an educated and expert approach, tailored to you and your dog, I’ll guide you on your journey towards having a dog who you love sharing your life with.
“I hated walking Mabel as I never knew what kind of mood she was in until we were out. Sometimes she’d be fine and then for apparently no reason she’d lunge and growl at other dogs. Lucy was great at helping me read the situation so we could give Mabel space before she became over aroused.”
